    Wait a sec, RK.

    Did you check the frequency rates on the discumbobulator ISP service? I bet that's your problem right there you silly goose.

    Either that or it's your backbone T-42 line.

    use a different program to save the file into a gif or jpg format and try again.

    Yup. Microsoft programs suck, sorry. Try something by Adobe. Also, make sure you follow the guidelines regarding image/file size.

    When you go to save it... change the file it saves under to one of those above you mentioned.

    i think the bit rate on the ISP service is a bit slow. And the backbone T - 42 line is a little dislodged. I was thinking it could be a turpoculator problem (something internal). Oh well, i'll try again.

    (ok, i am not as good at computers, as much as i'd like to think i am)

    i opened ms paint (because it's the easist), and then saved my work as avatar1. then what do i do? i saved it under the 'my pictures' file, which was allready on the computer.

    lol..good stuff guys...RK, if the image is under a different format you're going to have to use a program other than Ms Paint to change it's extention first.
